Summary
This study tested whether a program that combines talk therapy, brain training, and healthy lifestyle advice is practical and helpful for people with conditions like mild traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, long COVID, or mild cognitive impairment. Fifteen participants were enrolled to see if they could complete the program and if it improved their daily life and well-being. The goal was to gather feedback and measure community integration and quality of life.
